Batgirl Begins

I’m about 98% sure this is photoshop, but I really wish it wasn’t so there could be more photos in this series. Most of us love the dark, armored redesign of Batman in the Nolan era, but it would be pretty cool to see Batgirl rendered in that form as well, even if she is just a little girl in the timeline of the series.

Through either the greatest costume making skills ever, or some rather good photoshop, we have a look at what she might look like, boob armor and all. I doubt we’ll ever see her onscreen after the fiasco that was Batman and Robin, but still, cool to imagine.

I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely, and I've learned a lot these last few years at Forbes. My work has appeared on TVOvermind, IGN, and most importantly, a segment on The Colbert Report at one point.

What’s with all the hate on Batgirl? Without Batgirl the Batman universe would have missed out on a really important character. Barbara freaking Gordon. One of the best and well-rounded characters in that whole series that makes it interesting.

@Sarah Yes, absolutely true. Which is of course why DC had to make her a retarded crimefighting twonk again. God forbid she be Oracle, a parapalegic who can still defend herself on par with Batman and is 3 times smarter than he is, showing actual diversity in comics as a disabled superhero that isn’t a joke, when we can have her spine miraculously heal and get her back in spandex fighting crime and being apparently so computer illiterate she has to troll a library to research a case because apparently her spine was healed at the cost of her computer skills, because Hey! The New 52! We’re all edgy and stuff!

It’s almost as bad as mistaking indiscriminate emotionless sex (Starfire) and tacky rooftop quickies (Catwoman) for “displaying sexually liberated women”. But they’d never do THAT right?

Sorry to be a nagger, i think Batgirl appeared in Batman Forever… i cringe whenever i remember that movie”

Dude – sorry to be a nagger – it’s Batman and Robin. Not Forever. Though both are crap, B&R is the one that still make you cringe – you and every person on this planet with a minimum common sense. Me included, obviously.
